Sheep Pen Session

Pete Robins attempting the big link across the Sheep Pen Boulder wall V11, here he is shaking out on Dog Shooter

Headed up to the sheep pen t0day, a lovely bouldering site above the Nant Ffrancon in the Ogwen Valley. Tine was short as Pete had to do some chores in the morning, and I had to be back before school finished to pick up a friends kids to babysit. So we headed straight to the main event, and despite me think I wouldn’t be able to climb out of a wet paper bag, I managed the two up lines on the right of the wall.

Whilst Pete was trying to do the massive V11 link from one end of the boulder to the other, I tried the shorter V7 link into Dog Shooter. I was gutted as I narrowly missed the top hold on a couple of attempts. It was good to get pumped and pull down hard on holds though. Pete looked as on form as ever, as the link is very tricky, at one point he seemed to be running sideways across a V8!
